Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There's a great feature of using the phone's gyro to be the controllers gyro, and it makes the pc recognize it as a ps4 controller.

However, it maps the start and select buttons of the controllers to the "share" and "options" button.

Games often use the touchpad instead of these buttons, and as far as I can tell there is no way to map the controller buttons to left right, or to map the phone's touchscreen to the ps4 controller touch pad.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think the most comprehensive solution would be having the option to map the touch screen into the ps4 touch pad, maybe even with little areas like they do in the ps portal, but that might be too much.

As a temporary solution, maybe have an optimn to map the select button to "touchpad left" and start to "touchpad right", or have a key combination.

Another option would be to present the controller as a switch controller instead of a ds4, as it still has the gyro.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The on screen controls have a button mapped to touchpad click, but it has a few limitations:

  1. It only supports clicking the touchpad and not touching it
  2. it clicks the whole touchpad, when some games have specific click areas
  3. it requires the on screen controls to be active, and cant be used from the controller

It can't be present as Switch controllers right now as vigembus does not support emulating a switch controller.

Touchpad click is one button only, the left/right is distinguished by reading where your finger is on the touchpad. I'll see if this can be mimicked someway 🤔

Currently with the USB driver for Pro Controller the screenshot button works as trackpad click (at least Steam thinks so), but still as a whole...
